Yeah, as much as I'm pumped about Zerg, it looks like I'll be losing some fav units... defilers, lurkers, scourge. =[ I'm just accepting it now so I won't be cryin as much later.

I ve quit following the developement of this game for a lil while now. Too much of the same things coming up. And basically have a life overall so the hype has faded for awhile.
That being said, I really look forward to see what the SC2 zergs will look like because , imo, zergs will make SC2 either a good or bad game. There can not be a SC without the zerg so they better not mess this up.

See you all back on march 10th.

No way in hell is the lurker going anywhere, would be pretty silly to remove the scourge (hrm maybe they could make lings mutate into scourges since they already mutate into groundbased scourges anyway) and if the defiler is gone I predict consume+swarm moving to a new unit.

I see guardians, queens and devourers getting the sack, then there's the useless infested terran taking up a zerg ground unit slot so they can add in something new without really taking anything away.

Also the zergling portrait, have we seen that before?

I remember reading that they had refused the idea to make hiding the ui an option, because it would somehow promote imbalance. I still don't get it.

if the defiler is gone I predict consume+swarm moving to a new unit.


While I see where you're coming from, dark swarm and consume rocked, I'd rather see some new spellcasters with some new abilities.

Edit: God I wanna see a Zerg gameplay video...

removing the UI gives an advantage to pure hotkey users as opposed to users who use both hotkeys and the buttons on the UI. Moving down while microing requires more mouse movement/accuracy because you have to move PAST the UI to scroll and then back over the UI again to move the unit on the screen. If someone had their UI hidden then it would make that task identical to the sides or the top

They've dropped vultures, goliaths, science vessels, dragoons, scouts, corsairs, and shuttles.

I wouldn't bet on them keeping lurkers, scourges, or dark swarm.

This is not Starcraft version 2. This is Starcraft 2, a whole new game. It's supposed to play differently. They only feel obligated to keep the most iconic units. In the case of Zerg, I'd say that's zergling, hydralisk, mutalisk, drone, and overlord.

I'm not saying they *won't* keep more units, but I think they'll replace any of the other units if they don't have a compelling reason to keep them.

Goliaths, goons, scouts and shuttles weren't dropped, they just got their name/artwork changed and some extra functionality added(transform into air unit, blink, effectiveness vs high hp ground, pylon field). It's not like adding charge to zealots meant they got dropped. So you got 3 out of 7.

I hope they remove suicide units, I really hate them, they have limited cost effectivness and versatility and are just bland. Since they made the infested terran a zergling mutation, I guess that won't happen and they'll probably keep the scourge, too.

Vulture - "Cobra"
Gol - "Viking"
Sci Vee - "?"
Dragoon - "Immoral Darkoon"
Scout - Yes and no since...
Corsair - "Phoenix" Somewhere between Corsair and Scout. 2 similar units unecessary.
Shuttle - "Phase Prism"

So the only dropped unit I see is the Sci Vee, but it was a rather odd unit to have anyway. Similar spells could probably be found with other units in SC2.

There would be hell to pay if they dropped the lurker, since it was one of the coolest units of Broodwar, both in appearance and functionality.

But I must say that these names and some of the artwork for the units is terribly childish -Correction - the type a stupid or silly child would come up with and think is cool..

So I don't really see zerg losing anything, they only stand to gain compared to terran and protoss here as far as new units and mechanics go. But coming up with ideas for them is probably harder, since they're biological and not technological, so that hampers creativity a bit.

Which is probably another reason why they chose to reveal them last.
I wouldn´t call him stupid, but let´s just say he´s unlucky when thinking...

A devout Templar in one life, his broken body was remade into a Shambling Mechanical Horror of War to serve on in the Protoss War Machine in an Obscene State of Undeath!

When the Khala Protoss abandoned their last scrap of decency to join forces with the sinister cult of Dark Templar, he learned their forbidden magics and wove for himself a noncorporeal form of Psionic Aether to escape his Pleasureless Shell!

Stare in shock as he gorges himself on the Life Force of his former comrades! Fanatical Killer Zealots will die like worms in a fire!

Gasp in horror as he Mind Controls innocent and beautiful Front Line Medics, and for his own twisted amusement, has them submit to the unnatural carnal desires of a Zerg Overlord!

Feel perverse sympathy as he yields to the Seductive Song of that most nightmarish siren, the Infested Traitor Kerrigan, and see the insane lust that brings their races into a Chaotic Alliance without Discipline or Honor, that threatens to consume all human life before turning on itself and ending all life in the galaxy!

Cheer as a ragtag squad of mercenaries strap on their new Government Issued Jetpacks and blast heroically through waves of Disgusting Alien Scum, for a final dramatic confrontation with the Traitor Kerrigan and her Lustful Consort!

He is...

If this rumor is accurate, then why isn't there more news about this? Has it been confirmed that Blizzard indeed plans something at the given location? Aren't there journalists in SKorea getting to the bottom of this?

If no news comes anytime soon, I have very little trust in this rumor.
